THE TYPES OF HERNIA (BEWARE BUMPS IN THE GROIN AND THE NAVEL)

The emergence of the lump could be a sign that the baby is suffering from a
hernia. Many people still think that the hernia only affect adults, especially
seniors. Though the little one still a baby can also experience it. Recorded
cases of infant hernia is pretty much even. when you hear the name may seem
quite wonderful, the hernia was found to cause harm. When kept hushed without
proper treatment, it can even lead to severe complications until death.A hernia is the protrusion of the contents form a cavity through a weak part
of the cavity wall is concerned. When it occurs in the stomach, stomach
contents can protrude through a weak part. Most prominent is the intestinal
organs.
Hernia is not a hereditary disease. The occurrence of hernia in infants is
different from a hernia in adults is usually due to weakness of the abdominal
wall muscles. Whereas in infants, a hernia that occurs in the abdominal area
due to hereditary or congenital diseases.Generally there are two types of hernia, which is internal and external.

1. Internal hernias are in the body and can not be seen in plain view eye. For
example, Diaphragmatic hernia where hernia the result of a gap in the
diaphragm (the muscle between the stomach by dividing the chest) due to
incomplete formation of the diaphragm. Another example is the esophageal
hightail hernia, the hernia occurs through the esophagus into the entry slit of
the chest cavity, and many other types.2. External Hernia. Of this type of hernia is the most common is the
inguinal hernia that appears in the groin and umbilical hernias that appear in
the navel area. Babies usually have an external hernia which can be detected by
naked eye as it looks in person.The occurrence of an external hernia in infants are usually caused by
congenital diseases, it diseases that occur when the unborn baby and generally
no known cause. Generally boys more often had a hernia than women because of
the decrease in testis / testes which lasted more complex reproductive organs.
Hernia were more common in premature babies, because at the time of his birth
and the formation process of testicular descent rudimentary ligaments.Inguinal hernia:

- At a baby boy due to the failure of the closure process that covers the
testis sac. While in the womb, the testicles down from the abdomen down and
stop when he got in the scrotum (sac testicles). This reduction process begins
when the baby is still in the womb. When dropped, the testes will take lining
of the stomach down to form a pouch. When born just months, generally the
process of moving the testicles has been completed.However, in some infants, the process of closing up to a ligament
(connective tissue) does not work properly which ultimately leaves a hole.
Well, here's a hole that could eventually lead to herniation. If only it contains
fluid called hidrocele.

- The baby girl hernia occurs through a process like this: just as a baby boy,
baby girl underwent a process of formation of the lower body organs are almost
the same. However, when men experience the process of testicular descent, then
women are not.Umbilical hernia:

In the boys and girls umbilical of hernia occurs when closing the umbilicus
(the former umbilical cord) is not perfect. Should, when making umbilical
closure remain open. When this happens, it will leave a hole so the intestine
can enter into the area.read more on HERNIA
